China and the United States announced a truce in their trade war on Monday after talks in Geneva that will roll back the bulk of tariffs and other countermeasures by Wednesday. The United States is dropping the extra tariffs it imposed on China this year to 30% from 145%,

The U.S. treasury secretary and America’s top trade negotiator began talks with high-ranking Chinese officials in Switzerland Saturday aiming to de-escalate a dispute that threatens to cut off trade between the world’s two biggest economies and damage the global economy.

"We're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us work toward resolving that national emergency," Jamieson Greer said.
